Critclaw

The Critclaw is a blue, uncommon, average stat dragon with a vicious claw melee attack. They're most commonly found tucked away in forested areas on the Shelf.

In-Game Description
Critclaws are dangerous predators, able to defeat a foe with one brutal strike. it's said that their claws can pierce any material except for the shell of a Torsnapper.

They hunt in packs, predating mostly on Puffpodges. They're less dangerous when alone, unable to cover either of their flanks. Approach with caution or not at all.

Where to Find
Critclaw nests are usually found tucked between trees in heavily forested areas. They can be found on the Rift, the Shelf, and on Radiant Steppe. Because their nests are often surrounded by trees, it's recommended that the player attack them on foot as not to become stuck between foliage while riding a dragon.

Behavior
Critclaws will quickly pursue the player and player-tamed dragons once provoked, repeatedly swiping at them with their Critical Strike attack. Their attack does 5 damage to an unarmored dragon (2.5 hearts) and 7 damage to an unarmored player (3.5 hearts). They will not fly after the player or player-tamed dragons, but will still chase after them on foot.

Appearance
Critclaws have vibrant green eyes and propeller-like fins on their tails. Normal males are slightly more green in color, and shiny males are a true blue. Normal females are more teal in color and shiny females are turquoise.

Drops
Upon defeat, the Critclaw can drop 1-4 Dragon Scales, 1-4 Dragon Bones, and/or 1-4 Dragon Fangs.
